It features all the usual suspects:
real guitars
Superior Drums
MODO bass
various synths (incl F'em for the FM line)

All comments/feedback welcome, and thanks a lot if you listen 😉

Nice combo of instruments almost chaotic in places but all blends well

Great Stuff

 chaotic in places

That will be intentional

Hi John

i like this, excellent guitars.

just one thing, and this just may be a personal preference, but i don't really like the sound of Modo Drums or the Modo Bass.

I got them free in an IK upgrade a while ago and as much as I tired I couldn't get them to sound "real" to my ears. this of course could just be me!!

Other than that really like this

Nigel

Hi Nigel,

Thanks a lot for listening.

I've never tried MODO Drums but I do like MODO Bass. What do you prefer for electric bass?

[Bajan Blue]

Hi John

I have a number of different bass guitar i use depending on the track - Vigier Arpege,  Vox Standard,  Musicman Stingray Active, Futurama Bass, Fender P Bass,   8 String and an Acoustic Bass  and an Epiphone Thunderbird - i run them through my Bass Amps, such as Roland DB 500, Vox Escort  or sometimes direct.

cheers

Nigel

Aah you use *real* basses!

That's different

[MichaelJohn]

Has a cool vibe and I like uptempo instrumentals.    Bass sounds good to me.  The bridge is amazing!

Hi MichaelJohn - thanks a lot for listening and for your comments

Really nice, love the chord progression. Drums are great. The atmospheric guitars are very nicely done. I use modo bass a lot while I'm writing a song, I just hate having to re-record bass lines when I get an idea when I can just scooch some midi notes around a grid and modo is great for that. 

Good work!

Hi Kevin,

Thanks a lot for listening and for your comments.

So, do you play the bass?

[treesha]

Thick. The synths add another dimension. I think the tone of the bass helps it cut through. Variety. Enjoyed it.  

[jbraner]

hi treesha - thanks a lot for having a listen! and for your comments.

I really like MODO bass - for cutting through

Yes, after a fashion.

[jbraner]

I'd love to be able to play a real bass - but that's not gonna happen in this lifetime

[Max Arwood]

Love the intro I thought Annie Lennox was going to sing. I have aleays liked how you could put unlikely parts  together and make them work. And work well. 

[jbraner]

Hi Max - how are you doing? I haven't heard from you in ages!

Thanks a lot for listening - Annie was busy, so I just recoded it without her
